When it encounters an opponent, it will pick them up, dealing 3% damage each second they remain inside. After three seconds, the Tweester will automatically release Petey's foe and fade away.

Side Special

Goop

Petey can move around freely and attack after his has spit out the goop. Similarly, the goop will vanish after 15 seconds.
